On December 31st, we celebrate the birthday of this great man, my father. We wanted to wake him up and sing to him the happy birthday song (a birthday tradition in my family, to sing exactly at 00:00), but he was already asleep and since we are on holiday and the days here are tiring as hell, we decided not to wake him up and we waited until the next morning.
El 31 de diciembre, celebramos el cumpleaños de este gran hombre, mi padre. Queríamos cantarle las mañanitas a las 12 de la noche, pero ya estaba dormido y como los días en la playa han sido agotadores, preferimos no despertarlo y esperamos a la mañana.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing that his birthday is on the same day as the New Year celebration, because he has to share the people, the attention and all that, but at the same time, every celebration of his birthday involves a lot of food, happiness and family time, so that's good.
No se si sea bueno o malo que su cumple caiga en fin de año, porque por una parte se comparte con la celebración de Año Nuevo y por otro lado, esta de pelos que haya tanto festejo.
